Mine Is Ruby/grey With Grey Leather Interior, And The Aluminum Rims —
Has been a wonderful Ride. Reliable, only problems were from manufacture and it is the first run model so over all nothing more than expected. Fluid changes are a Breeze! Maintaining so far has been very simple....however changing out the timing belt for the home garage is a big task and extremely expensive at the professional garage. I also don't like the lack of access to the spark plugs.
Oh yeah and the Rims SUCK in salty conditions....the pit very easily!

Pros

Offroad capabilities

Cons

Gas mileage

Solid, No Fuss. —
Works great in both mud and snow, underrated for its off road capailities. Body on ladder type frame construction and real 4X4 gearing, it will go anywhere a Jeep will. Spacious and confortable, is also a good daily commuter. Very solid.

Pros

THIS CAR IS GREAT ON THE SNOW,AND SOFtin any where

Cons

18 mpg

Pros

I loved the look and feel of it overall.

Cons

The timing belt needs replacing every 100,000 kms or it will stop running and cause damage. It didn't have 7 seats.

Nice Small Truck —
Wonderful truck. Too bad the new ones are less of truck and more car. Needed a
7-seater so I upgraded to the Borrego. The Timing belt needs to be replaced every
100,000 km and should never be missed! The transmission was great, the options
were great. Winter driving was a breeze in it. Went down several off-road trails
and it performed great!

Pros

Nicely powered SUV, nice interior

Cons

Gas guzzler, very costly in maintenance

Not The Right Choice For Me —
Biggest mistake I've done in years. Costed me an awful lot in maintenance already, and troubles are not finished yet.
Was thinking I was going for reliability with a Kia SUV, looks like I did not inform myself enough before buying this car. Can't wait to get rid of it, hopefully in one year or so.

Pros

Comfort

Cons

Fuel Guzzler

Great Comfort But Huge Fuel Consumption —
Has been reliable over the 10 years. Some corrosion on the luggage compartment door. Huge fuel guzzler. Main electrical control unit for interior lighting and license plate shorts and requires replacement regularly. Very comfortable ride. Lots of cargo room. Overall great vehicle.

Best Suv Ive Driven In A Long Time. As A Matter Of Fact I'm Getting A New 07' Sorento Today, I Love The More Horespower —
as a matter of fact i'm getting a new 07' sorento today, i love the more horespoweras well as the same like price from last years

Not Worth Getting IntoBy dsppspc123
